So last night I left my mountain bike out in the back of my truck, got home around 8:20- had my bike shoes and running shoes in the front of the truck- I live in the country, really know most of my neighbors for like 20 years, never crime etc…
Went out to the truck this morning, bike is gone- grab my stuff up front, bike shoes are gone, running shoes are gone. WTF right? I look around a little bit, my bike shoes were laying on the ground, person couldn’t figure them out(woot for speedplays) and next to them were another pair of shoes that weren’t mine- the dude swapped my shoes(black and yellow with neon green yanks!) for his piece of junk worn out sneaks. At least he now has shoes to impress people when high school starts. Filled out police report, its tough to describe a bike in laymans terms to someone that has no clue(not his fault, outside of us, how would you describe the whole speedplay pedal thing?) and the bike computer and such. We know who did it- its the proving it- hoping the kid will walk by the house with my addidas on sometime! But just messed up sometimes- and with an off road duathlon in 3 weeks, we shall see if I scramble to pull something together- my girlfriends giant would work, not the best, but better than running the bike part!!!
Venting over, thanks!
